During Microsoft’s 50th anniversary in Washington, AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman was unexpectedly interrupted by a pro-Palestinian employee that accused him of providing Israel with AI technologies during its war in Gaza.
“Mustafa, shame on you.” “You claim that you care about using AI for good, but Microsoft sells AI weapons to the Israeli military. Fifty-thousand people have died and Microsoft powers this genocide in our region,” former Microsoft AI engineer Ibtihal Aboussad shouted and paused Suleyman’s speech.
Suleyman calmly attempted to de-escalate the situation and said, “Thank you for your protest, I hear you.”
However, Aboussad shouted and said that Suleyman and “all of Microsoft” had blood on their hands, according to Associated Press.
Mustafa Suleyman, a British-Syrian AI expert, has been appointed as Microsoft’s AI CEO since March 2024.
In 2010, Suleyman co-founded DeepMind, one of the world’s pioneering AI research companies, along with Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg.
Then, he left the company in 2019 after leading the application of AI systems to offer advanced solutions for real-world problems.

Consequently, he co-founded Inflection AI, an artificial intelligence research institute, where he served as Co-founder and CEO.
Suleyman was selected as one of the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for his remarkable success in AI.
Microsoft AI CEO is generally known for his unwavering support for refugees. However, he is currently facing various accusations of providing Israel with AI models to select bombing targets during its wars in Gaza and Lebanon, according to an investigation by the Associated Press News Agency.
